I can make the antenna conductor be the outside of a piece of
coaxial cable, and use the coaxial inside as a shorted stub which
reflects a pretty good (fairly high Q) inductive reactance back to a
particular point such as a quarter of the antenna length back from
each end, where the stub connects across a gap in the outer
conductor. Can I use such an inductive reactance to tune the
antenna? Will there then be a difference in current at each end of
the gap across which that reactance connects?

Hi Tom,

Interesting proposition. I like it.
